Brian Cooney delivers a song of pure devotion on the powerful “Nothing Greater”. The lush arrangement recalls an updated chamber pop spirit one that feels good for the soul. With nods to Grizzly Bear’s baroque take on folk, for the sheer amount of instrumentation results in a vast tapestry of sound. Every single little flourish feels lovely and full of vibrant color. Interplay on the track feels rather beautiful for it all comes together into a singular sound. Lyrics however, serve as the main focal point from which all else revolves. Exploration of faith happens within these carefully chosen words each of which is utilized in a way that is truly inspirational.
